In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of a man who built bigger barns to store his wealth, thinking he could then rest and enjoy life. But God calls him a fool—“This very night your life will be demanded of you.”
This is a powerful reminder: we can spend our lives chasing success and security, only to discover we’ve neglected what truly matters—our soul, our relationships, and our love for God.

In today’s Gospel, a scholar of the law asks Jesus the essential question: “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus points him to the heart of God’s command: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and love your neighbor as yourself.” But the man, looking for limits or loopholes, presses further: “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus responds not with a strict definition, but with the Parable of the Good Samaritan. What makes the Samaritan good is not his title or knowledge of the law, but his compassion in action. He stops, sees the suffering, binds wounds, and gives of himself—while the priest and the Levite, respected religious figures, pass by, perhaps out of fear, ritual concerns, or inconvenience.
